NO naIl FOR a1cqarlgle and Moponnld.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-Judge Shepard this
morning refused to admit McGarigle and
Mcdonald to bail. He held that, even if he
possessed discretionary power to grant the
request Of the defendants attorney, it would
be more in accordance with law to keep in
jail men whose punishment had been fixed at
a term in the penitentiary. The principal
ground taken by the court was that the
jury, in fixing the punishment, had taken
it out of the category Of misdemeanor.

it is indeed surprising how many

But the making of washboards is
even more surprising. The largest
factory employed in this business is
located many miles from this city.
Here the trees are cut down and the
timber often allowed to lay for two
years until it is properly seasoned.
Machinery is used to prepare the

man, who lives about six miles west

ming, and the only son, aged IL
years was instantly killed, while the
daughter, aged IA, was frightfully
burned and may not recover. After
supper the boy, who was ill, lay
down in front of the stove and was
in that position when struck, and
killed. The lightning came down
through the chimney and stove,
killing the boy and throwing out
fire which burned the girl so serious.

Another Railroad Deal.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 29.-To-
day a party of gentlemen interested
i'll the Ohio and Northwestern Rail
road (recently the Cincinnati and
Eastern) reached the city after an
inspection of the road, The party
included Senator Warner Miller, New

Judge Granville P. Hewes, New

New Jersey; George McNiel, Lon
don; Walter Barker, Philadelphia
Col. Ii. G. Parsons, West Virginia.
They have determined to change the
gauge to standard.
Important negotiations are pend
ing with other roads, which if sue
cessful, will make this road an i'm
portant factor in the railway system
of Ohio and West Virginia. Judge
Halves, one of the trustees of the
bondholders, has bought the Hills

The Railroad War in AIleqany.

CUMBERLAND, Mp, March 30
The railroad war over the right of
way at Cookerly's farm. near Raw
lings, Allegany county, continues,
and every day turns out some inter
esting Developments. There has
been no active work on the ground
since the Piedmont and Cumberland
track was torn up early Monday
morning, but since Monday night
there has been large force on guard
there, presumably in the interest of
the lessee, and largely composed of
miners from Eckhart and Frostburg.
A bout twenty five OF this force came
to Cumberland to night, leaving
about sixty at the Cookery farm
These are quartered in tents and
improyised huts, and have stock
Of provisions. Soon after the track
was torn up Monday, Sheriff Houck
placed a posse Of six men at the dis
puted point. As there were vary
ing opinions as to bis right to keep
the posse there, the sheriff to-day
went to Hagerstown and consulted
Judge Alvey on the subject. He
was accompanied by Hon. II. G..
Davis, of the new railroad. Judge
Alveys' advice was against main
tanning the posse, and this evening
the sheriff wired his deputy to with
draw the posse, which was done.
Another event to-day was the appli-
cation to Judge Hoffman by the at
torneys for Mr.. Mayer, assignee I'M
der the lease, for an injunction to
restrain the new railroad from re-
placing the track. The INTUITION
was refused and an appeal immedi-
lately taken. SO tho matter stands,
and the public await the next move
with much interest.
The commission in the West Vir-
ginia condemnation case of the Pied
mont and Cumberland Railroad VS..
M. Sinclair today filed their award,
giving one thousand dollars damag
es for the land which lies opposite
Cumberland in West Virginia. Ex
ceptions will be fled.

The Money in the U S. Treasury.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The to-
tai sum now held by the Treasury is,
in round numbers, $555 100000.
The entire sum is not, of course, the
property of the Government Obi
cations are outstanding against it
which would reduce the net holdings
to about $500, 100000, including the
reserve held to redeem greenbacks
and the $26,000,000 of fractional sill
yer coins, which are classified as sun
current fundsn and not treated as a
part of the Treasury's available bal
ance. The gold and silver held on
March Is footed up: Gold, 275,847,-
1853; standard silver dollars, S204,-
715,117 fractional silver coins, $780,
ga, 061, making a total of S507, 000,-
900 in gold and silver
1t will perhaps surprise most read
crs to learn that the sum named, re-
duced to tons of 1000 pounds,
would give sos tons of gold and g.
804 tons of silver, total weight of
1872 tons. Packed in carts, one ton
in each cart, this gold and silver
would reach within fraction of 21
miles. The silver alone would ex-
tend distant of 49, miles and
the gold II miles.
And yet Grover Cleveland, the
Democratic President Of the United
States, vetoed the bill passed by Con
gress which proposed to give the
poor Union soldiers, whose blood
flowed to save the country, some of
this idle money thatlies in the Treas
ury, and which rightfully belongs to
them.

How Hard Sullivan Can Hit.

Pugilist Sullivan has just conyine-
ed few New York gentlemen that
to a slugger of his calibre the break
ING of one or two bones in the wrist
is a matter Of small consequence.
He took them to private riding
academy, where iair-sized inflated
Rugby football had been suspended
from the ceiling by rope that look
ed like q section of cable. Sullivan,
who wore kid gloves and was attir-
ed only in his underclothes, toyed
with the ball for a moment, then
without apparent eXertion, let go q
left handler. The sphere fattened
itself against the ceiling with q re-
sounding crash that made the horses
in all parts Of the building jump and
prance, and rebounded almost before
the great hitter had time to get his
head out of the way. The cham.
pion turned like tightening and met
the ball with another left hand blow
as it was rebounding q second time.
Then he hit the flying football al
ternately terriblespunches with first
one hand and then the other, catch
ing it fairly every time and keeping
it bounding from every part of the
ceiling SO rapidly that the visitors
grew dizzy. When asked to hit it
with full force with his right, the
big fellow let 90 such a smash that
the ball was split in half. Sullivan
says it is only trick to break the
iron ring that fastens the ball to the
rope, and to prove it, he broke three
of them as fast as they could be put
in place.

DENVER US.

WE clip the following from the
last issue of the Statesman, viz:
Jefferson Democracy as exempli-
fed in the adjoining county seems
to mean the right to traduce and
villify every member of the party
that don't think as you think, and
to kick and bolt because the other
fellow gets the office. When such a
man as jim Mason becomes the ex-
ponent of true Democracy it behoov-
es all honest men to pause and con-
slider whittier are we drifting. The
Democratic party may well exclaim.
From all such Good Lord deliver

WILL NOT ASSOCIATE.

Mr.. FRANK II. BECKwITn receiv-
ed the anti-caucus nomination from
the anti.democratic convention of
Jefferson county. He made o few
remarks in which he plainly and
practically severed his connection
with the democratic party He said
he would not 90 into any caucus of
the party, and that being true, he
necessarily becomes faction unto
himself, and cannot be bound in any
way by the actions Of the democrat
ic majority should he be elected to
the House ofDelegates. Precedents
are thus being established, that in
dicate, that the downfall of the party
in power in this state, will receive its
deathblow from the democratic
stronghold of Jefferson county. 1t
is drawing the line pretty rigidly,
when men Of the same faith consider
each other so outrageously wicked,
as to refuse to counsel or act with
each other.
